Re: [boinc_dev] [boinc_alpha] BOINC 7.8.4 for Mac

[Charlie Fenton]

Hi Richard,

As you responded, the only difference between 7.8.3 and 7.8.4 was the use of a 
64-bit variable to prevent arithmetic overflow when determining the memory size 
of AMD GPUs. This problem affected only GPUS with a memory size of 2GB or 
higher.

except for a few lines of code in the GPU detection code, the code in 7.8.3 and 
7.8.4 is identical. So your recommendations to revert to 7.8.3 is fine.

In situations like this, my recommendation is almost always:
Download a fresh copy from the server.
Run the "Uninstall BOINC" application from the extras folder.
Install BOINC again.

It's surprising how often doing this solves these problems, perhaps due to a 
corrupted download.

Cheers,
